Applied, though there was some wrapping of the e-mail I had to clean up.
Your hash code looks fine, so I enabled it by removing the ifdef's. You
could XOR the top int4 bytes with the bottom int4 bytes, but I doubt
there is a portable way to do that, so you are better off just leaving
it as is, where it looks at only the lower int32 bytes.
If you copied how the other entries pointed to other entries, your code
will be fine.
